August Favorites
Eyes
Maybelline Define A Brow Pencil Medium Brown 643
This stuff is waterproof. Many tout it as a dupe for MAC's Brow Pencil.
This product is a very affordable alternative. It is my new HG (Holy Grail)
brow product!

The website says,
"Micro-mechanical pencil delivers precise application for evenly defined brows. Smear-proof formula wears all-day, and convenient all-in-one tool includes a comb to seamlessly blend color for a natural look.
Blends easily with brow hair
Waterproof for all day wear
Safe for sensitive eyes
Contact lens safe and ophthalmologist tested"
Cheeks
Base - L'Oreal HiP Blendable Blushing Creme - ENAMOURED (Matte Pecan Brown)
Set - Milani Mineral Blush - SUNSET BEACH (MAC Raisin Dupe)
Lips
Sally Hansen Satin Effects Lip Gloss
This is my back up for C.O. Bigelow Lip Products.
I love applying this before I do my entire face.
By the time I get to my lips, they are moisturized and plumped.
This stuff makes for a perfectly primed lip canvas.
I blot off the product and proceed with liner and color.
I received this as a gift from a friend.
Revlon Superlustrous Lip Gloss
These are quite pigmented. The shine lasts on my lips for about an hour.
The pigmentation remains for about three hours despite the loss of shine.
I like to apply mine over lipstick. However they are pigmented enough to wear alone.
I love them. Revlon is giving MAC Lipglass a run for their money.
Skin Care
Clairsonic Mia - Hands down, the best ever investment I have ever made in skincare. Removes the most minute trace of makeup. Exfoliates. It is like having a mini spa treatment everytime I use it!

Unrefined Shea Butter
I am a dry girl. Shea Butter never fails me. It is my HG skin moisturizer.
My entire family enjoys the benefits of this product. We also use it in our hair.

Hair Care
Fruit Of The Earth Aloe Vera Gel
This was a gift from a friend.
It is awesome for defining curls and slicking down edges. It soothes a dry scalp.
Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Conditioner
I use this on my daughter's (transitioning) hair.
I left it in per the tightly curly method .
This product yielded soft shiny twists and braid outs.
Nails
Sinful Colors Nail Polish
These affordable colors were on sale for $.99 at Walgreen's and I racked up, supplementing my collection. Their vibrant colors never fail to disappoint me.
